The goal was to raise funds for Operation Smile South Africa who help individuals and communities with corrective surgery on cleft lip and palate.

How did it all start?

“The STBB4GOOD initiative is now in its seventh year and Annetjie van Rooyen from STBB is the brainchild and inspiration behind this event.”

“A little while ago we met at a function and she was so keen to get involved and support Miles for Smiles. The nicest thing about this event is that every single person that participates; mothers, fathers, sons and daughters – are doing it for something bigger than themselves, they are tackling this challenge because they want to make a difference,” says David Grier, Cipla Foundation managing trustee and adventurer.

STBB4GOOD has developed a reputation as one of the “must-do” events on the sporting calendar with 650 entries for the Twilight Run and 1300 participants in the Mountain Bike Challenge this year.
